Last fall the Linux foundation "announced its intent to launch the Open Wallet Foundation (OWF) - a new collaborative effort to develop open source software that anyone can use to build interoperable wallets supporting a wide range of wallet use cases... Digital wallets are generally defined as an app in our mobile devices where we store the digital versions of the items that we carry in our physical wallets. The basic idea of a digital wallet is pretty simple: 'a thing where we put our stuff.'" I know a lot of educators are sceptical of what appears to be yet another tech solution. But commercial versions - Google Wallet, Apple Pay, and more - already exist and are being widely used. I won free World Curling tickets this week from CAA (wow!) and they're in my digital wallet. We need something for everyone, not just for our digital money, but for our identity documents, and for certificates and credentials.
